"Resistance", or "How I learned to Overcome My Insomnia and Sleep Before Muse"

Begin the most interesting weekend of my junior year- as read through my eyes only! TRANSCRIBED!

(Wednesday) *pakupakupaku*

I came home on my break between classes to the most interesting of visitors: flies! This was quickly remedied with the aid of bleach! I have to admit, nothing gets the blood pumping like mass insecticide! After that it was off to stats lab, administering the thankless job of running the anime club as a board member, and all that comes with it (you can imagine)! Following that bit of fun, I had packing and cleaning to attend to, and of course the fun of orchestrating an entire weekend home, while balancing my remaining responsibilities.

(Thursday)

All morning and afternoon in the train, bus, and car. I slept on Jake's shoulder, and didn't remember much.

(Friday)

Shayne and I met up early after work (I had walked over to my grandparents house to see Chloe and my grandpa) following which a sushi feast ensued. Dear god, I had missed being home. Following our mouth-first-dive into the ocean, we headed over to the theatre to catch Scott Pilgrim (a movie Shayne practically had to drag me to see, but upon viewing, I found to be perfectly enjoyable).

(Saturday)

I woke up far later than was proper on this day; met up with Sam, walked to the coffee shop near by house and ordered the "red eye" drink-cold, which we took to the park and consumed under the shady trees. My afternoon was something out of a Jack Johnson song. We poured out hearts out on playground sand and reveled in the comfort of an understanding ear. I swear to god, soulmates exist in the bodies of best friends. After that, we headed back, and caught a ride to the mall, where we would eventually meet up with Alex and Anthony (who I have missed desperately and plan to import onto Mercedian soil as soon as either has a break in their schedules). And let it be said that walking through the mall with several male hangers-on has its advantages...mostly that instead of having a single GBF, the advice of an entire gaggle allows for the same quality of style and expertise to be communicated, but through many lenses effectively the fashion equivalent to drinking a cup filled with espresso vs. a cup filled with coffee only.

In any case, that moment ended beautifully, and so began the evening, during which I began to prepare for my upcoming Muse concert (tomorrow- well today but who's counting?) We immediately took to Fry's for a little last-minute-shopping, and then headed back home for a night of anime and setting the itinerary, which so far seems to me to be rather straightforward.

As you can tell, this is a very exciting, positive time in my life, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Pictures and updates to come...
